Dukane Manual Part No. 403-573-02
Generator Overview
This generator is designed for ultrasonic applications con-
trolled by a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Us-
ing the available system control inputs and outputs, the
generator can easily be integrated into a wide variety of
automated systems.
The generator design accepts several control input signals,
provides system output signals, has a power status LED
indicator, and an amplitude adjustment control.
An optional Multi-Probe Control (MPC) interface module
allows the generator to power multiple probes selected by
an automated control system.
This product’s rugged internal ultrasonic generator cir-
cuitry ensures a continuous resonant frequency lock at the
start of each weld. Ultrasonic settings for the drive signal,
phase delay angle, starting frequency and soft–start ramp
parameters can be customized at the factory. (Contact your
local Dukane sales representative for more information.)
Users can modify generator performance to meet a wide
variety of ultrasonic processing requirements if needed.
The generator’s compact size allows multiple units to be
placed into an industrial equipment cabinet, and the gen-
erator will operate at the same international line voltage
input specifications as the other generators of this product
family. It also includes an RFI line filter that passes strict
CE test specifications for global applications.
Key Generator Features
Compact Enclosure Size requires a small footprint for
either vertical or horizontal mounting into your equip-
ment cabinet.
Pulse Width Modulation incorporates patented
circuitry giving the power supply the ability to
efficiently change the output amplitude. This makes
it possible to start large horns with reduced power. It
also provides more power efficient switch-mode gen-
erator operation and increased reliability.
Linear Ramp Soft Start circuitry allows the acous-
tic stack to ramp up to operating amplitude smoothly,
minimizing the startup surges and abnormal stress to
the stack and generator.
Automatic Tuning tracks the resonant frequency of
the acoustic stack (horn, booster, transducer) and ad-
justs the generator output frequency to match it. This
is done for every weld cycle and eliminates the need
to manually tune the generator.

Line Voltage Regulation automatically maintains
constant amplitude regardless of line voltage de-
viation. The available output power is maintained
with any voltage input within the specified range.
This provides consistent system performance re-
gardless of line voltage fluctuations. It also elimi-
nates the need for bulky, external constant–volt-
age transformers.
Load Regulation provides constant amplitude
automatically regardless of power draw. The ul-
trasonic output amplitude level is held to within
±1% to provide weld process consistency and re-
duced weld cycle times.
Industrial Line–Power Source means that
standard systems will operate worldwide at all
industrial high line voltage levels, whether it is
200VAC @60Hz in Japan, 240VAC @50Hz in
Europe or 208VAC @60Hz in the United States.
There are no internal transformer taps to change
for worldwide operation.
Amplitude Adjustment Control allows the peak
-to-peak excursion of the horn at its workface to
be adjusted between 20% and 100% of the horn’s
nominal amplitude.
Multiple Electronic Overload protec-
tion circuits prevent instantaneous com-
ponent failure in the event of extreme out-
put overload conditions and rated overload
power limit is based on the actual true RMS
power output level.
CE Certification means that the system meets
the required European standards to be sold and
used in Europe.
ISO 9001 Certification means that this system
has been manufactured to high quality standards
and assures you of manufacturing excellence.
